Web3 card-based MOBA Wildcard have completed the first phase of their $WC token airdrop on Base.
Alongside the token distribution, Wildcard has released Wildpaper 2.0, an updated version of its whitepaper outlining details of the $WC token, its planned use, and the framework for future airdrops.
The project has also confirmed additional airdrop phases with a new distribution model.

Wildcard is a game that combines elements of real-time strategy, arena-based multiplayer online battle arenas (MOBAs), and collectible card games. It integrates blockchain technology, allowing players to engage with digital assets whilst competing in strategic battles.
The game is set on Frostburn Asteroid, a location featuring an advanced battle arena where players compete using a mix of tactical card selections and real-time champion abilities. The asteroid also houses Frostburn Village, an area designed for spectators and participants to interact outside of matches.
Wildcard’s gameplay revolves around skill-based combat, where players must make strategic decisions in fast-paced matches, blending action and strategy to create a competitive environment.

The first phase of the $WC token distribution, referred to as the Retroactive Airdrop, was designed to reward players based on their past engagement with the game. Eligibility was determined by several factors, including:
- Ownership of Wildpass NFTs
- Completion of Full Spectrum Wildpass sets
- Holding Flair collectibles or Flair sets
- Participation in Wildfile and Wildevent activities
- Performance in leaderboard rankings
Wildcard stated that the snapshot used both blockchain records and off-chain data to assess player involvement over the past two years.
Wildcard has also announced additional airdrop phases, with the next round tied to its Wildcard Exhibition Series. This phase will introduce a new mechanism called Airlock, which controls how tokens are released. Under this system, tokens will be distributed but will remain locked and non-tradable until a designated unlock period to regulate liquidity and ensure a structured rollout of the token.
Players can earn Airlocked tokens through participation in Thousands Network and Thousands.tv, a streaming platform focused on web3 esports.

Wildpaper 2.0 provides updated information about the Wildcard ecosystem, covering the structure of the game, the $WC token, and its role in the project.
One of the key additions is the $WC Meta Game, which will introduce a system for players to use the token. The Meta Game will launch alongside the game’s early access release, at which point the token is expected to become tradable.
Wildcard has also stated that playtests for the Meta Game will be available before its full implementation, but participation will require holding $WC tokens. Further details will be added to the whitepaper as development progresses.
